Why It’s Important
These initiatives should encourage more tech organisations to partner with countries in pursuing knowledge-sharing initiatives, by tailoring programs to the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises. Free access to training in high-demand skills like AI, data analytics, and Cloud computing is important to encourage the public to build their skillset and enter demanding fields in the IT industry.
Enterprises that benefit from this initiative must also continue to scale up this program by continuing to upskill their employees in professional certifications in the future. This will help them to continue adjusting to new solutions, optimise the organisation’s processes, and foster a culture of lifelong learning.
